Mmmm, Steamy!
Singer's SteamWorks Pro steamer is just amazing, so lets get down to it.
Assembly was fairly straight forward and took about five minutes to unpack everything and get it all put together. So the instructions get an A+.
To start off I filled the tank with filtered water (they recommend distilled water obviously) and slid in onto the base, flipped the machine on, waited about a minute and steam was shooting out so it was time to start steaming!
Using it for the first time, let alone a garment steamer for the first time, was an experience. I started with some drapes that had recently been washed but not ironed. A few passes with the steamer took every last wrinkle out of them! It actually surprised me because infomercials have really ruined my expectations on steamers as they seem to over glorify them.
Next up was a button up work shirt. Using the folding hanger and the garment clip bar to hold the shirt, a minute of going over the shirt made...
Great, but keep your iron!
If you are looking to replace your iron with this steamer, or any steamer, stop looking. A steamer will never get a dress shirt looking the way an iron will. But, this steamer works great on items that you cannot iron. For example, I have a jacket that is dry clean only and it was very wrinkled. This steamer worked great getting out the wrinkles. I also have a dress that is hand wash, hang to dry and it cannot be ironed. It looked like a wrinkled mess after washing. In no time at all the steamer removed the wrinkles and made the dress look great. It does heat up instantly! There is no wait time at all. It has a place to hang the garment while steaming, which is a big help.
This steamer works great on those few items around my house, but it will not be replacing my iron any time soon!

PLEASE READ:
I have bought several steamers over the past couple years due to traveling and affordability. This is by far the worst product I have used.
1) For every 5 seconds of steam there is a 15-30 second waiting period. While the "Steamer" works, other brands are much more efficient and produce steam for several minutes at a time. The constant waiting makes this product a pain to use.
2) The product itself looks cheap and poorly designed. The entire system wobbles due to not fitting tightly and the hanger/hang clippings are almost useless.
Trust me. I have sworn by hanging steamers for several years and this product was by far the least efficient.
